We recently joined the great Lakes Garrison at an event of theirs in the Grand Rapids, Mi. area. The local AJ's Family Fun Center hosted a Star Wars Day to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation:

The young Padawan and myself!

The Garrison had set up a photobooth, a blaster range and the Jedi ran a Jedi Academy class. I assisted at the Academy.

The students borrowed training lightsabers from the academy and when they had demonstrated the basic moves we instructed them on, they graduated and recieved a "Diploma."

We also tried to instruct some Troopers on the proper way to handle a lightsaber, but unfortunately, they failed miserably.....

I also made my way over to the photobooth between classes:

My Padawan also tried his hand at one of those "uncivilized" weapons at the Blaster range:

I think he got him....

We then played a round of mini-golf:

I thought I'd try my own "putter" for this shot:

A shot from the top of the golf course:

The Clones and stormies also played a bit of golf:

and practiced at the Blaster Range:

and maintained order at the go-cart track:

They also joined in the fun at the photobooth:

We also had some Denizens of the Empire join us for the fun:

We saw them attempting to steal some type of watercraft as well....

That is awesome. I really need to join some kind of group to get in on some of the fun. Are you apart of any particular group. 501 rebel legion etc?


-edit-
You said you joined the garrison. How did you join the 501st if your not dark side?

Just in case one of them got sick? ;)

Actually, the Jedi on the right has a slightly different costume from Qui-gon's, but he has the hair because he does Qui-gon as well, but usually on the east side of the state.

That was great! I was chuckling at the pictures of the Jedi and Stormtroopers playing mini-golf, but I burst out laughing when I saw Greedo in a bumper boat!

Thanks for the good laugh after a long, hard day!

Glad you had some fun, and raised some money for a great charity while you were at it.
